While divorce is never fun or easy Barney and Brianna. We are absolutely amazing at making the process goes so smoothly. They were gracious and willing to do everything that I asked and we’re always there with a hug and a kind word. I cannot recommend them enough to help you go through mediation. I’m so grateful that I found them and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to make this process easier
A friend recommended A Healthy Divorce to me, and she was right; I had a great experience working with Barney. He was clear, attentive, and helpful, guiding us through every step of the process. I would strongly recommend A Healthy Divorce!

Barney was friendly and professional on our initial call, but unfortunately we didn't proceed after our first mediation session.
For our situation, which involved a career pause, income imbalance, and more nuanced spousal support considerations, his approach felt very formula-based. He seems best suited for simple, straightforward cases with minimal complexity.
After speaking with other professionals, specifically a CDFA who has worked with Barney and learning more about mediation, I feel better about my decision to pause, and find someone better aligned with our needs.
Barney helped us make this difficult transition as smoothly as possible. He demonstrates high quality expertise and compassion at the same time. He was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole process, if you are struggling going through this I highly recommend Barney to help facilitate and guide you with professionalism and care.

I had the privilege of working with Barney as my mediation attorney during my divorce, and I can’t recommend him enough. From start to finish, he was patient, supportive, and incredibly professional. He guided us through every step with calm clarity and never once took sides or made us feel judged—even with all my questions and requests.
Barney has a rare ability to create a safe, neutral space while still advocating for fairness and understanding. His steady approach made an emotionally difficult process so much more manageable. I’m truly grateful for his help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a compassionate and balanced mediator.
